Transmigrated to a parallel world, he became Fatty, the apprentice of傻柱 (Shazhu). With elderly parents above him and three sisters worrying about marriage below him, Fatty hones his culinary skills...
Yu Qian tried to stop her, but he was probably sick with a cold and his hands and feet wouldn't obey him. He could only watch helplessly as Huaihua peeled him until he looked like a white pig.
Huaihua walked barefoot to him, two lines of tears streaming down her cheeks.
She was clearly smiling, so why did it make Yu Qian feel so heartbroken? She raised her arm, trying hard to speak, but she couldn't utter a single word.
But Yu Qian understood what she wanted to ask him: "Am I dirty?"
When Huaihua's hand touched his shoulder, Yu Qian could no longer hold back and hugged her tightly!
"..."
In the evening, Huaihua carried a basin and took her clothes and Yu Qian's clothes to the kitchen to wash them.
Yu Qian lay in bed, feeling that everything that had happened today was so unreal.
He's become a man? He must be!
Just now, Huaihua asked him, "Are you serious about me, or are you just playing around?"
This can't be a joke, it has to be serious!
No, no, they've already gone that far, so shouldn't we...?
Huaihua misunderstood Yu Qian, thinking he couldn't answer, and continued on her own: "If you're serious, we'll get married. If you just want to play around, then after today, we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Yu Qian finally calmed down and excitedly grabbed Huaihua's hand: "Let's get married! Let's get married!"
Overjoyed, Huaihua wept, instantly becoming a tearful mess.
Yu Qian was at a loss again, awkwardly wiping away her tears, and then began to learn how to comfort a woman...
※※※※※※
Although the catering industry is called a busy industry, it's not that busy every day.
Take Qilige for example, it's very quiet from Monday to Thursday.
Because everyone has been busy these past few days, busy with meetings, planning, work, and production... so there hasn't been much time to go out for meals or social engagements.
After Thursday, another week will be over.
They weren't so busy anymore, so they could eat and drink as they pleased. After fighting a lifetime of wars, couldn't they enjoy themselves a little?
Yu Qian naturally knew his brother-in-law's daily routine.
On Thursday afternoon, he arrived at the fat man's house with a locust flower in his hand, looking embarrassed and dejected.
Why are they here? Yu Qian hesitantly called Fatty and Yu Li into the inner room and then told them about what happened between him and Huaihua.
Yu Li was shocked: "What? You slept with her... Waaah!"
The fat man quickly covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down."
Then he asked Yu Qian, "You mean, she fell into the water, you saved her, and then you two did that?"
Yu Qian nodded shyly, then quickly added, "It's not in the water, it's Kunming Lake."
The fat man made an "8" gesture with his chin: "I never expected this, I never expected that Sha Zhu would become your matchmaker?"
Yu Li broke free from the fat man's grasp and raised her hand to slap Yu Qian: "I'll teach you to ruin other people's girls!"
While dodging, Yu Qian cried out, "Cousin, I didn't harm her! I really like her, and I want to marry her!"
"Getting married?" Yu Li and the fat man looked at each other, speechless. After a long while, the fat man finally said, "No need to say anything, let's prepare the bride price. Xiao Dang asked for 1500 back then, and now Huaihua is going to ask for an exorbitant amount, isn't she?"
Yu Qian panicked: "Brother-in-law, it's free! Jia Yi married me, she didn't sell herself to me!"
The fat man was speechless: "This silly kid..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Qian said, "She said that we don't need to pay a single penny of dowry. As long as you all agree to our marriage, she will figure out the rest."
The fat man exchanged another glance with Yu Li, and tentatively asked, "Did Huaihua say what the method is?"
Yu Qian shook his head: "She didn't say, but she definitely has a way. She's very smart!"
Yu Li sighed wearily, "She's quite clever, she's got you completely fooled."
Yu Qian was about to argue again when the fat man stopped Yu Li: "Alright, having a shrewd wife isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at me, how comfortable am I? You agree, wife?"
Yu Li liked his irresponsible manner. She slapped the fat man before asking Yu Qian, "Does Auntie know about this?"
This time, Yu Qian scratched his head and said, "I went to Peace first..."
Before Qian could finish speaking, the fat man forcefully interrupted him: "You spoke to our aunt first, and then you came to tell us, right? What was our aunt's opinion?"
Yu Qian quickly said, "She agreed. Jia Yi is so nice and beautiful, my mom didn't say much!"
Although Yu Li sensed something was amiss, she still seized on Yu Qian's weakness and continued, "You scoundrel, aren't Liu Jia and Liu Jing both prettier than her? Why did you have to choose her?"
Yu Qian opened his mouth, unsure how to answer his cousin.
Liu Jia is indeed beautiful, but Yu Qian dislikes her because she has a rural household registration. At that time, many people's old ideas had not been completely changed.
For example, the idea of a secure job, or marrying someone who receives a government-subsidized job, etc.
Yu Qian was attracted to Huaihua for two reasons: firstly, he found her charming and lovely; secondly, he was interested in her urban residency permit.
Huaihua was attracted to Yu Qian's monthly salary of 1,000 yuan; secondly, she liked Yu Qian as a person—he was tall, had a good temper, and was fair-skinned and handsome…
In short, it's like a turtle and a green bean—they've hit it off.
Since what has happened has already occurred, Yu Li, though unwilling, is helpless.
They came out of the inner room, and the fat man looked at Huaihua and found that her figure and features were indeed different from before.
Seeing that the fat man hesitated to speak, Huaihua stood up before he could say anything and said, "Uncle Fatty, you don't need to worry about my mother, I'll handle it!"
The fat man became interested: "Oh, tell me, what's your good idea?"
Huaihua shook her head: "It won't come true if I say it out loud. In short, I won't marry Yu Qian with such a heavy burden."
"..."
Having persuaded Yu Wanlin and won over Yu Li, Huaihua, in high spirits, took Yu Qian's arm and left the courtyard.
As soon as she stepped outside, she ran into the person she least wanted to see at that moment—Xiao Dang.
A new Lisheng Sporting Goods Service Center has opened in Bamiancao, and the entire building is dedicated to selling related products.
Xiao Dang couldn't wait to go shopping with Liu Jia and the others as soon as she got off work at noon today, and they didn't go home until now.
She had just gotten off her bicycle and hadn't even stood up properly when she saw two people who should never be together, standing close together, hand in hand, right in front of her.
Xiao Dang said incredulously, "You guys..."
Huaihua's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She stood there, stunned, looking down at her toes, as if she didn't know how to face her sister.
Yu Qian was also quite embarrassed, but at this critical juncture, he had to protect his woman.
Yu Qian stepped forward and greeted her: "Hey, Sister Xiaodang, Jia Yi and I are getting married."
